GLOBAL WARMING BOMBSHELL: Hockeystick Broken

MIT Technology Review ^ | 15 October 2004 | Richard Muller

This is old news.

Oh. "Black Eye from Broken Hockey Stick".

[Always Right]

John Daly, RIP, cracked the hockey stick theory as soon as it came out.

[Cold Heart]

I have to drive my SUV a full tear to feed 5 acres of rainforest.

[BJungNan]

I did not need math to tell me the global warming nonsense is, well, nonsense.

[Lx]

I wonder how Noam Chomsky feels about MIT Technology review publishing this report?

look at the date. it is old news for us, but an earthshattering sea change for the technical/liberal MSM to actually cover this. Buckhead and FR have changed the media world!

note that Nature rejected the paper and it went over to a "blog" on the internet, and now is getting more and more traction with those who can no longer stomach the monolithic leftist lie. that is the classical breakout, and very similar to the way the rathergate fiasco came about.

kyoto fans will be deeply saddened (but watch them claim it is necessary anyway!)

[AndyTheBear]

I had read the paper back when it had come out (I occasionally frequent junkscience.com and co2science.com). I hope your right about it getting traction. The global warming as science shake down has gone on long enough.

Check out this:

Not only does the program not do conventional PCA, but also it handles data normalization in a way that can only be described as mistaken.

Like CBS, they liked the answer, so they didn't question the results. That is of course putting the best possible spin on it. The worst it that they did it more or less deliberately to fulfill their agenda.

While this could be simple incompetence, it sounds to me like an awfully hard mistake to make accidentally.

Check my link for the story. Someone else added "Hockeystick Broken". I searched the title with "match all words" and "match exact phrase" twice as well as an archive search.

When government funds science, science becomes a whore of government.

RE: Apparently, Mann and his colleagues never tested their program with the standard Monte Carlo approach [!!!]

That's a big boo boo. What sort of real scientist would fail to do this?

RE: Did medieval global warming take place?

Well, we know this much. Vinyards in the UK and a place in Bavaria called "Valley of the Limes." Sure it's only circumstantial evidence, but it is hard to explain away with the Medieval Warming.

[Yardstick]

I think you narrowed your search too much by setting it to match all words. I just copied your title into the search box and did a quick "by title" search, and it pulled up those three articles (plus yours).

But whatever the case, taint no big deal.

Thanks for the link.

[neverdem]

LOL!

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.

And for fun, read Micheal Crichton's new book, State of Fear.
